Legacy Resource Category
Supporting resources are discovery and retrieval portals. They are not evidence by default.
Purpose and boundary
Use Breaking Bourbon to locate structured American-whiskey reviews, release information, long-form articles, and enthusiast commentary. Its review method separates Nose, Palate, Finish, Uniqueness, Value, and Overall judgment among named reviewers.
Evidence rule
Create a discrete Source for every review, article, or release record used and relate it under Related Sources. Preserve the original rating categories and reviewer attribution rather than converting them into a generalized score. Do not cite this portal record directly.
